Your reputation precedes you? Know what it is? Do others know of you before they meet you? Have you carefully sculpted what and how you present you (and does your behavior prove it)? Have you designed you? Or are you one who lets the chips fall where they may, the old ‘what you see is […]
Do you? When the focus of your remembering is who the Lord is and what He’s done in your life… your faith is increased. Have you ever considered that in the act of remembering you are building up your faith? Before you take credit for the ‘good’ that came out of the situation… think again.
If you are a Christian, you are in Christ (Romans 3:22-24). “In Christ” is used 77 times in the New Testament, 74 times by the Apostle Paul. I think Paul was intent on letting the new Christians know Who their source was. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has
Have you ever noticed that when the Word gives a directive, it gives the ‘why’ at the same time? You don’t have to seek the reason – it always presents what happens when you do obey and when you don’t. We never read a ‘ because I said so’ comment, contrary to what we practice.

I’m returning to an earlier post thought because I wanted to revisit ‘lacking nothing’. Those are the ending words in James 1:4. Lacking in nothing. Wow! Can you get your head around that? How do we place ourselves in a position that we lack nothing? One of the beginning steps is to NOT consider the

Are we? Are we leaving behind or standing still or moving forward? I suspect I should ask whether or not we want to grow, to become mature? Is where we are ‘comfortable’ and not requiring (that we know of) anything from us? Becoming a Christian is not meant as a stand still, no need to
“… Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify the church, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word [of God], so that [in turn] He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but
